Groudon, in its normal form or as Primal Groudon, is one of the most intimidating Ground-type Pokemon. This Legendary has the ability to summon intense droughts, cause volcanic eruptions, and actually create new land to travel across. It even sleeps underground in magma chambers. All of that, along with its massive size, makes it a force to be reckoned with.

Garchomp is arguably the best Pokemon that competitive battling has ever seen. This huge Dragon/Ground-type is able to fly as fast as a jet plane. It is even known to eat entire flocks of birds as a single meal. Garchomp is proud of its wings and when it Mega Evolves, seeing them turn into scythes sends it into a raging frenzy. That is horrifying to think about.
